Food trucks still in limbo for city of Canandaigua

An ordinance that would allow food trucks to operate on private property in the city of Canandaigua was once again up for vote at last night’s City Council meeting, but no action was taken.

City council Thursday did approve a negative State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR) declaration, meaning the food trucks would have minimal environmental impact, but the ordinance that was tabled at the July 1 meeting will remain there until at least the Sept. 4 meeting. While some changes were made within the last month to the ordinance to address concerns such as trash disposal and location of the trucks, Council agreed 6-1 Thursday to leave the vote on the table.

Councilman David Whitcomb said council is more concerned with getting things right than getting things off the table.

The ordinance that would allow food trucks on public property is still being reviewed by the ordinance committee, which meets next on Thursday, Aug 19.
